We've got a lot of good stuff going on. We've got a bunch of new announcements to make on July 1. We've got a lot of stuff coming in. We've already got a big company coming in that's going to have 50 new jobs, and that's the kind of stuff I'm after. I'm a businessman and I want to see us grow and I want us to grow our tax base."
